Monkfish

A monstrous Fish with exquisite flesh

Monkfish (Angler Fish) is a wild fish which lives in the Atlantic Ocean.
Endowed with a robust appetite, it feasts on fish, squid, starfish and shellfish, etc. which it attracts with a sort of “fishing rod” (which, in reality, is a long appendage which serves as bait). It dangles this appendage in front of itself while it lies in wait for its prey to approach. When its prey comes into sight, without a moment’s hesitation, it opens its mouth wide. The vacuum created sucks the prey into the depths of the gaping mouth and "snap!", the mouth closes again. All that without moving a fin.

This explains why its liver is fattened naturally, without force-feeding.

Its head is so hideous and its appearance is so terrifying, that sailors used to call Monkfish the “Sea Devil”.

Now, we know that it brings good luck: or at least well-being…
In effect, Monkfish Liver is naturally very rich in Omega 3, a key factor for well-being and a healthy body.

Food lovers are wild about its tail and its cheeks, and are particularly fond of its liver, the smoothness and delicacy of which is reminiscent of foie gras.
